Through Canada’s defence policy, Strong, Secure, Engaged, the Department of National Defence has committed to renew, replace, and maintain core equipment, and continue to support Canada’s multi-role, combat-ready defence force.

The modernized capabilities and equipment provided through the defence policy will improve CAF readiness and responsiveness, and support Canada’s ability to play its part in the world. These investments will ensure the CAF is able to defend Canadians at home and work with our allies and partners abroad. Providing the men and women of the CAF with the necessary equipment and resources allows them to do their job with high levels of professional and personal satisfaction.
